There are no directions. Do you place the battery in face up or down. The battery shows a positive & negative but the charger does not.

Line up the 3 copper leads on the battery with the 2 prongs at the top of the charger. +/ - signs will be facing you.

The battery only goes in one way. You match the gold prongs on the charger to the gold spot on the battery. The way the picture shows (face up) is the way they go in. They cannot charge any other way.

Try flipping the battery over and charge it "upside-down". I had to write to the seller at first because my battery wouldn't initially charge.

Check the pamphlet it came with. But, remove the battery by pushing dwn with your thumb, it should slide out. You should see 3 metal pieces where the charger plug unit SLIDES in. Then plug into the wall. First time use should take 10hours +. After that it's not as long. Hope this helps.

The way I had to do it was look at the battery terminal, one is + one is - and the other is a T. I don't have it in front of me but I aligned the terminals on the battery to the pins on the charger. I think the battery was always flipped over with it's back showing. It did charge a couple times. We just came back from Hawaii. I thought maybe it was the cruise ship's wiring, but at home it did the same thing, would not charge no matter what i did or what battery I used.

I did the same thing. I found a review that explained it. To charge the charger you need to plug a mini usb into the side of the charger to charge it. It will charhe fully in a few hours. I didn't see the mini usb port until I read the review.

I had the same question after i received the charger, there were no instructions with it. It came wraped in a peice of plastic. I ended up purchasing a new charger with a digital guage so i could tell if the battery was fully charged.

Okay, it's a little tricky and hard to see if you look at the black rectangular part of the device where the LCD screen is. You will see on one side a very small little tap sticking out right against the metal. Push that in and a tray will pop out on the opposite side. Insert the battery with the flat side of the battery facing the metal ruler part. Hope that helps!

Start from the bottom of the case where you charge the case. Then peel off each direction. Hope this helps

The battery just slides into the charger upside down from the high point to the low point of the charger slot, and when pushed in all the way to a full stop, the green light will start to flash to let you know the battery is in all the way and it is charging.

The instructions are not clear.Go to this link on YouTube and follow the instructions exactly as shown, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpg10yp4duoIt is important to begin charging the battery with the battery caps not sealed completely. Good luck

Just insert the batteries into the charger OBSERVING PROPER POLARITY (battery + to charger +) and wait until the charger LED goes from red to yellow to green. When the charger LED is green, the battery is fully charged.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A SOLUTION!! Put the nose of the batter in at a DOWNWARDS ANGLE. catching just the front hooks to secure in place. Charger then recognizes it. the problem is the connectors are two short for the battery. if you put the battery in at a angle, works perfectly fine.

Plug it in and charge it. The charge just disappears with no use. After it charges for a time the front screen will come up and tell you the charging %. It will take a day to fully recharge.

There is a small hole on the side of the flashlight and should be a smallRubber plug in the hole just pull it out and plug in the charger. I was so surprisedat how little time it took to charge it.Hope this helps.

This may seem a bit obvious but ensure the battery is inserted in the charger the right way round. Assuming this is not the case, determine if the charger is faulty(if you bought a second battery this will be easy)I have had no issues with mine for the last year..

You're way beyond the rated charging time of 150 minutes, so my bet is you've fallen afoul of the confusing dual-size charger and are in fact NOT charging the battery AT ALL! Look closely at the fit of the battery when you insert it into charger. You have two choices -- but only one will be truly SNUG. Once you inset charger into an outlet plug, you'll see the light and be on your way.
